From Deployment to Production

Learn how to design, automate, and monitor scalable forecasting pipelines in Python. This advanced course walks you through the entire production workflow - from sourcing data and training models to deployment and monitoring - using tools like MLflow and Airflow.

You'll start by connecting to live data sources and building your first forecast with U.S. electricity demand data. Next, you'll discover experimentation fundamentals, including backtesting, evaluation, and model registration using MLflow.

Then you'll build automated forecasting pipelines with ETL processes, model registration, and Airflow orchestration. Finally, you'll learn production deployment essentials, including monitoring pipeline health, detecting model drift, and maintaining forecasting systems in real-world environments.

Designing Forecasting Pipelines for Production

The Weather API changed temperature units from Celsius to Fahrenheit without notice.

Solar panel sensor readings stopped arriving after the maintenance window.

Pipeline crashed due to an incompatible pandas version after the update.

Forecast calculation failed with "division by zero" error.

Pipeline timeout after cloud provider network outage lasted 3 hours.

GPU memory allocation failed during model training on the shared cluster.
